Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will

In the absence of mandates directing grid managers to take chaotic wind or solar power ahead of conventional power and/or massive subsidies directed to retailers encouraging them to take it and/or heavy fines imposed on them if they refuse to, there is simply no commercial market for power which can only be generated occasionally, in … Continue reading Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will

Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall

Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply disaster thanks to the world’s most idiotic energy policy, centred on an unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, consumers are bracing for even worse to come. Vladimir Putin’s Ukrainian adventure has merely brought things to a … Continue reading Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall

French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance

Nuclear power generation is back with a vengeance for two reasons: the evident nonsense of relying upon sunshine and breezes for reliable power; and the political desire to reduce carbon oxide gas emissions. True it is that even Germany’s Greens have dropped their CO2 emission reduction ambitions, but here in Australia the suicidal desire to … Continue reading French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance

Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity

Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Since Vladimir Putin's adventure in Ukraine, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity

‘Greens’ Destroying Germany’s Ancient Forests To Make Way For Industrial Wind Turbines

To make way for over 30,000 of these things, the German wind industry has ruthlessly clear-felled ancient forests, once considered out of bounds. Provided the wilderness being turned into smouldering ash is used as a platform for hundreds of 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, it’s all for the greater good. Trashing thousand-year-old oak trees and … Continue reading ‘Greens’ Destroying Germany’s Ancient Forests To Make Way For Industrial Wind Turbines

Reality Check: Last Chance to Learn From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster

Europe is paying the price for its suicidal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The power pricing and supply calamity that’s hit Germany and others was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Power prices are out of control and weather-driven power rationing is the new normal. The Germans once had heroic plans … Continue reading Reality Check: Last Chance to Learn From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster

Transition to Bankruptcy: Europe’s Wind Turbine Makers Face Massive Financial Collapse

Europe’s wind turbine makers are in financial freefall; with subsidies slashed, demand for turbines has collapsed, input costs are soaring and their Chinese competitors are benefiting from their cheap and reliable supplies of coal-fired power. Oh, the irony! The barely disguised panic in this article from ReCharge (one of Europe’s leading wind and solar propaganda … Continue reading Transition to Bankruptcy: Europe’s Wind Turbine Makers Face Massive Financial Collapse

How Big Banks Conspire to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies

That the big end of town is keen to profit from the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, is no secret. Banks have been attempting to wreck reliable and affordable power supplies, for the best part of 20 years, dressing it up as “corporate social responsibility”. There’s nothing moral about it; it’s all … Continue reading How Big Banks Conspire to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies

Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake

Anyone who still believes in an ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar, clearly hasn’t been paying attention. The same crowd tells us that ‘coal is dead’, ignoring the fact that coal demand continues to rise and the record prices paid for the black stuff is through the roof. The Russian advance on Ukraine has only … Continue reading Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake
